"Yoicks!"

Yoicks: used as a cry of encouragement to foxhounds.

Yoicks is a store located in Stevenson, MD that carries fine sporting art, country clothing & gifts. The store is jam-packed with what I like to call organized clutter and sure to fulfill your equestrian heart's desires.

The store's website is still in works but check out their Facebook page or give them a call 410-486-8377 with any questions. Visiting Yoicks is well worth a trip to the country.

BEST store around IMHO. Better even than the Polo mansion because Yoicks is REAL. Michael Finney (the owner) is so entertaining and a welath of knowledge for all things country. Doesn't hurt that he is whipper-in for the E-H Hunt. I know from my most recent Visa bill that Jen hit up Yoicks in a big way! Can't wait to tear open those packages next weekend!

I would LOVE this store! Just bought my husband a Barbour jacket yesterday ( my 9 year old has one and loves it!) and a slew of Vineyard Vines ties - they have a new dog collection and we found a King Charles Cavalier like our Molly!

K, right off the bat I see a hound hunt cup and a navy vest I've gotta have and if that stuffed red fix out front is for sale I'll just DIE! I have wanted one for, like, everrr...XXOO

ps..."the country", snigger. EAS, EAS,EAS...if y'all on the Western Shore think Stevensville is country, I've got 2 tickets to the Hebron Carnival and a kegger at the deer lodge for ya. You ain't SEEN country til you've taken a spin on the Scrambler with more people barefoot than not while trying to hold down 3 oyster and greasy wonder bread sandwiches with ketchup while they call out bingo numbers over the PA and you wonder, is that her brother, daddy, husband or all the above??? :)

*sigh* i keep telling myself my messy house is "organized clutter" but i don't think i'm pulling it off. on a separate note, i am LOVING this store and have to make a note to visit next time we're in b'more with the hubs' fam. one of these days, i'll get him into a uva needlepoint belt...

Thoughts

I simply adore the American flag and I am constantly inspired by my surroundings. I love wearing anything with ruffles. I have a special place in my heart for animals and the water. I cherish photography and sculpture. I believe in fate. Summer is my favorite time of year. I like smelling cinnamon buns. I can’t live without back-rubs, online shopping, heating blankets, pink nail polish, plaid and hydrangeas. I get excited before a storm. There should be more random acts of kindness. I love antiques and decorating. I mostly wear flats. Anything seersucker is adorable. I will never get sick of eating tomato mozzarella. The best thing about the beach is outdoor showers and eating candy. All pools should be heated. -EAS
